We have entered new territory and have moved the Coup-o-meter into Attempted Coup territory to reflect this. Trump has directly incited violence in an attempt to stop the transition of power.

The group attempting this coup is small and does not appear to be building momentum. Now is the time for leaders to immediately call for the completion of the democratic process. Any continuation of the theatrics by the GOP that led to this violence is dangerous incitement and must be condemned in no uncertain terms.

Currently, the pillars of support for our democratic institutions are holding. We will continue to watch to see if that changes.
